Really happpy for Mark - he deserved it after a faultless race
Hamilton did ok, with Alonso's bad start and Vettel going off and then puncture, Lewis held station really
Rosberg did well, quiet progression through the race(given he started 5th)
JB did very well after a brilliant start (14th to 8th in first lap), lucky with the Alonso penalty (which Alonso bought on himself) but otherwise drove really well and pushed when necessary, pity he had to conserve fuel at the end
Vettel was VERY lucky, didnt really deserve any points (especially with his barge on Sutil at the end), not really surprising how easily he got past so many until that point given the car he had

hahahahaha my sarcasm meter doesn't seem to be working
He was poor and the safety car did him a huge favour.

So coming from 24th to 7th is terrible? Plus having a terrible first lap? Cmon.
Would have been nice to JB on the podium though. :/

Lol at Eddie, he is grilling Horner

Gotta love EJ stirring things

Amen. Vettel is a quality driver but I hate any situation where a driver is being given such obvious favouritism a la Schumacher/Ferrari.
To maximise the chances of Red Bull winning both championships of course.The best parts now go to the driver on the least points.
Perhaps Webber didn't get the memo. Or his dogs chewed on it before he could read it.
Soldato
Could it be that RBR were just giving Webber a bit more fire seeing that he obviously drives better when he's angry.
Soldato
Ooh Jake rubbing Horner's nose in it a bit there with the quips

In the fastest car in the field, with a safety car which bunched them all up.
A battling performance at the end of the race after the SC got him within sight of the pack but off the pace and very meh before that.
He wouldn't have got near the points if the safety car hadn't come out. So would it be a good drive for a Virgin driver if he won from last because every car infront broke down?
24th to 7th had a huge amount of luck rather than pace, before the safety car he wasn't fast enough.
Soldato
Without the safety car he'd have been nowhere near 7th. Even in clear air at the back he was miles of Webber's pace at the front.
Soldato
I think that settles that then
